Implementation of RFID Tag for Metal Surface Mount

This paper described a metal mount RFID tag that works reliably on metallic surface. The proposed method is to use commercial RFID tags, Styrofoam103.7 material is attached on back side of RFID tag. Styrofoam103.7 material which has 2.5 mm thickness and 1.03 of relative permittivity was attached on back side of RFID tag. In order to verify the performance of proposed method, we evaluated the experiment on the supply chain system of electric transformers. The experimental results on supply chain of electric transformers show that the proposed tags can communicate with readers from a distance of 2 m. The results of recognition rates are comparable to commercial metallic mountable tags.
